About THE COCONUT SELLER

Today I sat down and read your ‘The Coconut Seller’, at one sitting. Congratulations! It is really very good.I liked many things; perhaps especially that it is not patronising, in the sense that it does not straightjacket itself within the bounds of some pre-ordained lexical syllabus.I really liked this aspect, and the use of glossaries on the page.
